I Love to
Hate You
Chapter
19
I decided it
was the right thing for me to tell Liam that Zayn and I had been
fooling around up until the day I confessed my feelings for
Liam.
After all, if I wanted to have a relationship with him, I was
going to have to be honest. And I expected him to be honest with
me.
I texted Liam and told him that we needed to talk. He agreed, and
said he would be over in twenty. Should I go through with this?
Yes, I should.
Nineteen minutes and thirty seven seconds later, I heard a knock
on the door.
"Hey." Liam said once I opened the door and let him
into the apartment.
"Hi." I replied, still kind of mad at him for the whole
Britney situation.
"Look, it was a mistake. It really was. Can I just
explain?" he asked.
"No. Not yet. There's something important have to
tell you." I said.
"Are you seeing someone else?" he asked, his expression
now upset.
"No. But before I told you how I felt, I was kind of, uh,
fooling around with someone." I said. This was going to be
awkward.
"Oh. Uh, was it anyone I know?" he asked, trying to act
casual about it.
"Actually, yeah. It was, um. It was Zayn." I said,
biting my lip.
I couldn't bring myself to look at Liam, but when I finally
met his gaze, he looked upset. Angry, maybe. I knew I
shouldn't have told him.
"Y-you were sleeping with Zayn?!" he asked,
shocked.
"You were sleeping with Britney!" I fired back, because
I thought he was.
"What? You actually thought I was getting with Britney? Did
you not hear anything I said to you? I told you I was in love
with you." he said.
"Liam, guys lie about their feelings all the time. When
Britney came over late a few nights ago, I knew what you were
going to do. It's fine, really." I said, even though it
wasn't fine. I didn't want Liam and Britney
together.
"I told her to come over, because I was going to end things.
I didn't want to do it over a text message, cause only a jerk
would do that. But I wasn't going to sleep with her. I felt
guilty for using her, and I wanted to apologize." he
explained.
"So you were ending things with her? Ugh, I'm such an
idiot!" I screamed.
"You and Zayn? Really?" he asked, looking
hurt.
"Yeah. He was sweet, he was nice, and he actually cared
about me. I was upset because I thought you still hated me, and I
was confused. But now I know what I want. I want you, Liam. I
want to be with you." I said, pouring my heart
out.
"Yeah, well I'm not sure I want to be with you anymore.
I cannot believe you lied to me about you and Zayn." he
said.
"Liam, I didn't lie! We weren't even aware of each
others' feelings when Zayn and I were hooking up! Please
Liam." I begged. I couldn't lose him.
"Carly, I just don't know if we're right for each
other. I think I need time to think." he said, putting his
head in his hands and sighing.
"Liam, you can't just pretend we don't have
chemistry. I really like you." I said, on the verge of
tears. I didn't want him to go.
"Carly, I can't do this. I'm sorry." he said,
walking out the door. I slumped onto the couch, not believing
what just happened. I finally let myself start to like Liam, and
once I do, I get let down. Love stinks.
